Castra of Traismauer

The Castra of Traismauer features fortified walls, military buildings, and strategic defense structures along the banks of the Danube River in Lower Austria.

The Roman fort served as a crucial military installation within the Noric Limes frontier system during the 3rd and 4th centuries to protect trade routes.

The architectural elements of the Castra reflect Roman military engineering principles through its rectangular layout, watchtowers, and garrison quarters.

Visitors can access the archaeological site throughout the year and examine information boards detailing the fort's structural elements and military functions.

The foundation walls of the Hungerturm gate tower, dating from the Roman period, were integrated into a 16th-century structure that remains standing today.
